Page "James Cagney" Paragraph 9

The film was a success, securing three Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Sound Recording and Best Supporting Actor for Lemmon, who won.

While Cagney was not nominated, he had thoroughly enjoyed the production.

Filming on Midway Island and in a more minor role meant that he had time to relax and engage in his hobby of painting.

He also drew caricatures of the cast and crew.
